UNITED STATES HARRY H. BERRYMAN,

OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

WINDOW STOP AND ANTIRAT'ILER.

Application filed January 8, 1923. Serial No. 611,519.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY H. BERRYMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Window Stops and Antirattlers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to window stops and anti-rattlers, and more particularly to the provision of a device of this character which is especially adaptable for holding the windows of automobiles of the closed or limousine type in a predetermined elevated position or to prevent rattling thereof, although not necessarily restricted to this use.

An important object of the invention is the provision of a window stop of the kind stated which is neat and attractive in appearance, positive in operation and which may be cheaply manufactured.

A further object of the invention is to furnish an article of the character set forth which embodies a novel and improved means for moving the window engaging element to and from operative position.

With the above and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention comprises a novel construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed, and in order that the same may be better understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a plan view of a window stop embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a central vertical section through the same, and

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 illustrating the device in operative position.

Referring specifically to the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate similar parts throughout the several views, numeral 5 denotes a base plate having apertures 6 therein for the reception of screws or other suitable fasteners for securing the device upon a window sash or frame. This plate 5 is formed with two pairs of opposed upwardly directed portions 7 for sliding engagement with the longitudinal edges of a sheet metal slide, which latter is provided with a short longitudinal slot 9 intermediate its ends to receive a stud 10 rising from the medial portion of the plate 5. The function of this slot 9 is to limit the sliding movement of the slide 8. The forward end of the slide 8 is bent upwardly toward the base plate 5 as shown at 81 and its end 8 is bent forwardly to form the top of a socket for the reception of a soft rubber stop 11, the side walls of this socket being formed by forwardly directed wings 8 carried by the portion 8 The rear portion of the slide 8 is also upwardly directed as shown at 8 for a purpose to be presently described. It will be understood that the slide 8 may be stamped from a blank of sheet metal and the stop holding socket just described formed in an obvious manner. The means for moving the slide 8 to and from engagement with the window comprises an eccentrically pivoted cam 12 receiving the stud 10 and resting between the upwardly directed portions 8 and 8 of the slide 8. The free end of the stud 10 is threaded for the reception of a nut 13 and spring washers 14 may be provided above and below the cam 12 to prevent any looseness thereof.

From the foregoing description read in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be readily apparent that when the device has been secured upon the window sill 15 of a motor vehicle as illustrated in Fig. 3, the stop 11 in the socketed end of the slide 8 will be moved to and from engagement with the window pane 16 upon rotation of the cam 12 through the medium of the handle 12". In advancing the slide with its stop 11 toward the window pane the cam 12 works against the upwardly directed portion. 8 of the slide and when retracting it therefrom it cooperates with the upwardly directed portion 8 at the rear of the slide. The handle 21 of the cam is formed of relatively thin material and is twisted as shown at 12 to form a finger grip and to clear the up-turned end 8 of the slide.

The spring washers 1a serve to hold. the stop 11 in a predetermined position and prevent movement of the cam 12 except when desired. It will be clear that when the stop 11 has been moved to the position shown in Fig. 3, that the window pane maybe held in a predetermined position and any rattling thereof will be prevented.

In summarizing, it will be seen that the offset 8 not only constitutes one wall of the socket for the reception of the window contact element 11, but also forms an abutment for the cam 12.

Attention also directed to the fact that the loiver spring iya sher 1 4 not only holds the cam 12 against accidental turning but also positively prevents rattling of the bolt or plate 8.

In accordance with the patent statutes I have illustrated my invention in concrete 'form and have described it as functioning in a specific manner, but it ivill be understood that I do not propose to limit myself strictly to the precise ei nbodi nent disclosed, since various modifications and changes ivill immediately suggest themselves to those skilled in the art ithout departing from the spirit of the invention, thefscope of hichis set forth in the. appended claims. Having thus described my invention, What I clain as neiv and desire to, secure by Letters Patent is:

l. indow stop and antirattler comranged on opposite sides of (he can], one of said spring washers being confined bclnecn said cam and said bolt, and means carried by said pivot element to hold the cam on the pivot element, said sliding bolt being formed with a longitudinal slot receiving said pivot element, and the end walls of said slot being adapted to engage the pivot element to limit the movement of the sliding bolt.

2. A Window stop and a nti-raitler comprising a longitudinally slidable bolt havin one end portion proi-ided with a laterally projecting portion having a socket and the other end portion provided with an a-butnjlent, a Window contact element rcceived in said socket, a base plate sup, )ort ing said bolt, a, pivot element carrict by said base plate. and extending through said bolt, a cam mounted on sai(l p ivot element and confined between said end portions of the bolt and having operating means, and spring vashers mounted on said pivot element on opposite sides of said cam to hold the cam against accidental turning, one of said spring Washers being confined between the cam and the bolt and holding the bolt against rattling.

In testimony whereof l allin my siglni; ture.
